Carry You ~Eddie Diaz

Sam's POV:

June 30th, 2020

Am I sitting in a doctor's office crying right now? Yes, yes I am. Why? Because Eddie was supposed to be here with me to see the check-up on our baby.

"Where are you going?" I asked Eddie as he grabbed his keys.

"To get coffee with Mari, I told you that."

"Okay... But when are you coming back?"

He shrugged, "I don't know, later."

"I need you to be back by noon,"

"Why?"

I felt a pang of hurt in my chest. "You really forgot?"

"Forgot what, Samantha?"

I shook my head, "Go, just go. Enjoy your coffee." I saw Eddie roll his eyes and walk out. I set my head in my hands, "I can't go through this again, I just can't do it."

I got up, got dressed, took my keys, and drove to my doctor's appointment.

While I waited for the nurse, I kept checking my phone to see if Eddie had texted me that he remembered, or that he was sorry. He was so excited about this appointment, we were finally getting to see our baby, and he's missing it...

I wiped my tears away as the door opened, "Hey, Sam- what's wrong?"

I sniffled and looked to see Nic, "Hey, Nic,"

"Where's Eddie?"

I shook my head, "He had something come up,"

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"Me too," I whispered.

"Is that what's bothering you?" Nic questioned.

I nodded slowly, "I'll tell you later,"

Nic sighed before turning on the ultrasound and lifting my shirt a bit; the gel was freezing and as the picture showed up on the screen I couldn't help but smile. "There," Nic pointed to the screen and there was a small image of the baby.

I stared at the screen in awe, my baby was so beautiful, I turned to see Eddie's reaction but my smile faded when I remembered where he was. I looked down and then back at the screen, "Does everything look right?"

"Everything looks perfect. You and your baby are going to be great,"

"Thank you,"

"Let me print a picture off," She said before exiting the room. When she returned with the photo in her hand, she gave it to me and I smiled. "I need to have a girl's day with you shortly, I'm seeing someone."

"Are you now? Who?"

"He went to Stanford with us and you already know him..." She stated.

"Really?! No way- Wait, is it, Conrad?!" Nic's face flushed and I smiled, "No way! Are you serious? I freaking told you!"

Nic laughed, "Yes, you were right. We've hit it off so well already and it's only been a few months-"

"And you're just telling me?!"

"I wasn't sure if things would work out. But I'm moving in with him next week,"

"Oh my gosh, Nic! I'm so happy for you! If I can help in any way, please let me know,"

"I will, thank you, Sam,"

"Of course. I'll see you next week then?" I questioned.

Nic nodded, "I'll be in touch."
